The documents uncovered by the Internet platform WikLeaks are comprised of: a total of 251,287 diplomatic cables that were sent by United States embassies, consulates and outposts around the world to the State Department in Washington and more than 8,000 directives from the State Department that were sent to American diplomatic outposts around the world. Around half of the embassy cables aren’t secret, with 40.5 percent classified as “confidential.” And only 6 percent, or 15,652 cables, are classified as “secret.” Of those, 4,330 are so sensitive that they carry the additional label “NOFORN,” meaning that they should not be made accessible to non-US nationals.
